A Closer Look at Targeted Therapies in Metastatic 

Colorectal Cancer

Bassel F. El‐Rayes

Winship Cancer Institute

Emory University

Outline

• New targeted drugs in CRC

– Aflibercept

– Regorafenib

• Review the new data regarding older targeted drugs

– Bevacizumab

– EGFR I

• Discuss how best to use these drugs in CRC

Aflibercept

Aflibercept

Fusion protein of key domains from human VEGF receptors 1 and 2 with human IgG Fc¹

Blocks all human VEGF-A isoforms, VEGF-B, and placental growth factor (PlGF)²

High affinity – binds VEGF-A and PlGF more tightly than native receptors

Colorectal Cancer‐Future Questions

• Need better biomarkers to decide on how to select the targeted agents.

• Where do the EGFR blocker fit in the KRAS wild type?– Frontline vs. refractory disease

• Potentially resectable stage IV disease – is there a role for targeted agents?
